Rosalind has been a fine mother to her sisters Jane, Skye, and Batty for four years, ever since their mother died. So when her Aunt Claire visits with a blue letter for her father, written by her mother, Rosalind can't chase away the sense of foreboding.

When she finds out that her mother's letter suggests her dad start dating again, Rosalind quickly calls the sisters together for an emergency MOPS - a Meeting of Penderwick Sisters. Together they hatch the Save Daddy Plan, designed to ensure that they will never have to endure a stepmother.

As their father begins to suffer through the torture of dating, the sisters become involved in complications of their own. Skye and Jane get tangled up with homework while playing soccer in perfect sync. Rosalind struggles with her own boy problems involving the Geiger brothers. And Batty spies on Bug Man with her dog, Hound, and the new neighbor's little boy, Ben.

Before long, not only are the sisters beginning to unravel, but they also realize that the Save Daddy Plan is making their father miserable. After a night of revelations and confessions, the sisters revise the plan with the help of Ben's mother, Iantha.

THE PENDERWICKS ON GARDAM STREET is a delightful book featuring laughter, pranks, bedtime stories, and the sweet emotions of family love. Jeanne Birdsall and the Penderwicks will capture your heart. ( )

Susan says: This is the second book in a series of books about the Penderwick girls. It is written in such a sweet, straightforward style, but there is still enough between the lines for adults to read and appreciate. The Penderwicks’ mother has been dead for 4 years, and she left a letter with their aunt to encourage their father to date again. This leads to a series of mistakes, misunderstandings and misfortune that finally lead to him marrying the professor who lives next door. There are also other mysteries incorporated into the book, including Rosalind, the oldest, falling in love with the boy down the street, the two middle girls swapping homework assignments, and a creepy man who is skulking around. This is another great book by Birdsall with enough old-fashioned to make any mother happy, but enough action to keep middle grade readers interested. ( )

Another enchanting book about the Penderwick sisters. This time they are coping with the idea of their father dating for the first time since their mother died. Each sister is her own person, and they all are lots of fun to be around. ( )

i really enjoyed the Penderwick stories by Jeanne Birdsall, they were quite charming. The Penderwicks on Gardam Street was just as good as the previous book. i especially like the combination of classic storytelling techniques and the quaint family with talk of detaching car batteries and insane soccer rivalries. good stuff!
